it more entertaining)<br><br><\/li><li>avoid large chunks of text (they&#8217;re difficult to read)<br><br><\/li><li>add a delay between each sentence (at least 2 seconds to give your user time to

However, the subject of AI divides opinion. <strong>There are different ideas on what precisely an AI chatbot is.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our definition is simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A conversational AI bot should firstly be able to understand keywords inputted by the users.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>For those keywords, you prepare appropriate responses. Those responses are triggered each time the user inputs them into the chat.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A competent conversational AI bot should be able to understand the user&#8217;s comments or questions based on those keywords.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>It should then answer with the most appropriate response.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Going back to the question &#8220;how to create AI chatbots,&#8221; be aware of the potentially long setup time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you want to build an AI customer support bot, you need to prepare a comprehensive list of keywords and potential questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also need to prepare a thorough list of answers. Your conversation bot needs to flawlessly identify the keywords and map them to the correct responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there are any mistakes in the process, the end-user may find it a frustrating experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s the reason <strong>most small and medium business owners don&#8217;t build conversational AI bots themselves.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re considering hiring an agency to build a conversational AI bot for you, be aware that it may require a large budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Helpful link:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be aware of these common <a href=\"https:\/\/convertobot.com\/blog\/the-most-common-chatbot-problems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">chatbot problems<\/a> when considering how to create AI chatbots.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"heading7\">How to make a chatbot app (to generate more leads, bookings, and sales)<br><br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"418\" src=\"https:\/\/convertobot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-19-at-23.03.28-1024x418.png\" alt=\"bot lead generation\" class=\"wp-image-897\" srcset=\"https:\/\/convertobot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-19-at-23.03.28-1024x418.png 1024w, https:\/\/convertobot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-19-at-23.03.28-300x122.png 300w, https:\/\/convertobot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-19-at-23.03.28-768x313.png 768w, https:\/\/convertobot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-19-at-23.03.28-830x339.png 830w, https:\/\/convertobot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-19-at-23.03.28-230x94.png 230w, https:\/\/convertobot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-19-at-23.03.28.png 2040w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Need to know how to make a chatbot app?

Ask the user for a response as soon as reasonably possible.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Focus on the micro-conversions<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In the first block, we recommend asking the user for a button click. So, for example, ask them a question that requires them to click on a button to proceed with the chat.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"wp-block-table has-subtle-pale-blue-background-color has-background is-style-stripes\"><tbody><tr><td>That click of a button is a &#8220;micro-conversion.&#8221; It&#8217;s a small, positive response from the user, which opens them up to your conversation bot.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n<p><br>As the user progresses through the conversation bot, <strong>each micro-conversion helps to increase the conversion rate for your main goal.<\/strong> That goal may be a lead conversion, or a sale, or answering a support question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Use images<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Images play an important role in entertaining and engaging your users. We discovered that <strong>memes or funny gifs<\/strong> helped to increase our engagement and interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re using a delay between each line of text in your conversation bot, be wary of adding too long a delay for images. Some of your users may have slow internet connections, so you don&#8217;t want them to be waiting on an image to load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend either not using a delay at all for images, or using a 0.5-second delay.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Don&#8217;t ask for personal information too early in the conversation bot<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The idea behind using a Facebook chat Messenger bot is to convince a user to take action through conversation. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s known as a conversation bot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So you need a little conversation to engage with your user and build a rapport.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"247\" height=\"204\" src=\"https:\/\/convertobot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/download.png\" alt=\"use conversation to engage with your user\" class=\"wp-image-943\" srcset=\"https:\/\/convertobot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/download.png 247w, https:\/\/convertobot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/download-230x190.png 230w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 247px) 100vw, 247px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br>As the conversation progresses, that&#8217;s when you ask for the information you need or present them with an offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Helpful link:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about how to build a Facebook Messenger bot with high engagement by watching our best tutorials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/convertobot.com\/free-account\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up for a free account<\/a> and watch the free training videos we&#8217;ve created.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"heading21\">How to make a chatbot on Facebook (to achieve key marketing goals)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><br>There&#8217;s a particular skill in knowing how to make a chatbot on Facebook to achieve marketing goals.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"275\" height=\"183\" src=\"https:\/\/convertobot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/download.jpeg\" alt=\"How to make a chatbot on Facebook\" class=\"wp-image-852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/convertobot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/download.jpeg 275w, https:\/\/convertobot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/download-230x153.jpeg 230w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 275px) 100vw, 275px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Firstly, what&#8217;s the goal:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>lead generation?<\/li><li>sale?<\/li><li>booking an appointment or meeting?<\/li><li>registering for an event?<\/li><li>feedback?<\/li><li>survey?<\/li><li>hybrid or multiple goals?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Generally, the <strong>more difficult the goal<\/strong>, the <strong>more complex your conversation bot<\/strong> needs to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, imagine you&#8217;re building a conversation bot to sell a product or service to a visitor who hasn&#8217;t heard about you before.

Alternatively, it should allow the customer to leave a text message for your support team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bot is effectively a filter.

A Facebook chat Messenger bot will already give you certain personal information, such as the lead&#8217;s name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need email, phone number, address, etc.,  your bot needs to ask the user to type it in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is to pass that lead information to your apps so you can seamlessly collect the data.
